And Their off

Charlotte's first Sports day and She won the sack race. I think it was because she had to concentrate, The fancy dress race she was too worried about whether the things looked OK, The straight race she was too busy looking at everyone else and the bat and been bag race she and two others were talking and plodding along like it was a Sunday stroll.

PASTA!!!
Lucky mummy made it cheese and broccoli and not a tomato based sauce or I would be in a right old mess!!!

After the slow attempts of Harry Sarah thought it was time she took things into her own hands, quite liturally

Can I feed Sarah

Harry asked if he could feed Sarah

Reluctantly I said yes

He was doing alright until he posed then.....

She got bored and decided to do it herself, with her hands.....

And Their Off

What a start to a lovely day. Charlotte and Mark took part in their first Fun Run. It took them 20 min to run 1 1/4 miles. Mark said he was very proud of her because she did run most of it and ran quite fast which surprised him.

He is not the one who has to constantly tell her to walk every where, She is always way in front of us. if she carries on like this she will be at school before the rest of us leave the house.

After the run we took a walk to our Friends who were having a yard sale. After 3 years they are off to Armenia, Just slightly different from here. They will be missed very much. I have watched her 2 boys grow from toddlers and her little girl who was born here will be 2 soon, how time flies.It was such a lovely Day, The sun was shinning the Brass band was playing on the church green and the children were playing so nicely, Sarah and Avery slept for most of it, which was quite nice gave us parents a chance to chat.

Q. It's 16:00 and your son has fallen asleep What do you do?

A. You don't put him to bed, a lesson I learnt last night.

While pottering around in the kitchen I noticed it was very quiet. Charlotte was doing Arty stuff at the table Sarah was rolling around the floor ant there was Harry, fast asleep. now as I said what to do? I took his jumper off (which is quite a struggle he has a big head) I took his shoes off but no response moved him in to a comfortable position but no movement. He was out for the count. So I took him up to bed. What a kind mother i am. Ha Ha so I thought. My first mistake

It is now 23: 55 just been watching One night stand (Wrestling, whole new story but what a Swanton bomb) feeling very tired myself I started up the stairs and who was standing at the top about to come down You guessed it a very wide awake Harry

So brought him down gave him something to eat. and let him watch a DVD. (You don't need peppa pig this time in the morning)

It is now 2:00 Time for bed now, he just laughs. not impressed. Mistake No. 2 "come on Harry I'll go to bed with you" what with wanting to play, poke my eyes out and just plain fidgeting I gave up on that but when I left he screamed. in fear of the hole house waking I asked what he wanted.

"I want to go down stairs and watch telly" so off we went. I put on another DVD sat him on the Sofa and wait for it mistake no. 3 I went to bed

04:20 Charlotte woke me wanting a drink (that girl drinks like a fish) so went to get her one and realized what I had done.

TV off , Wii plugged in, Harry asleep holding Dads ipod and pen all up his arm. oops

So not sure how much sleep he had but I know I did not have much!! and what other surprises I will find ,Who knows!!!

Still can not get a nice pic of all the children together....
But here are my two lovely little girls
and my guitar playing pirate....
